THIS ONE IS NOT GOING TO END WELL
words & music: bill mallonee c.BMI 2017
v.1
You never can be sure where you're at on this map
the past, present & future tend to over-lap
They say it all shakes out...but as far as i can tell
this one is not....going...to end well

v.2
I surveyed every angle but the one that carried me
was that dusty old virtrue they called brutal honesty
from cradle to grave...it's the hallowed or hard sell
this one is not...going...to end well

v.3
First you log the miles...then scrape off the rust
whatever gold you find or steal? well, it all turns to dust
if you listen very closely you'll hear the tolling of the bell
this one is not...going...to end well

v4.
I came here to draw water from that ancient well
a place where no moth corrupts & no thief shall ever dwell
I'll share a secret with you, if you promise not to tell
this one is not....going...to end well
